Food is okay but service and Atmosphere is not.

Good service, nice atmosphere, food IS good, however.. the portion is very small and very expensive.

Love the ambience of the place. You feel relaxed… but probably just because there’s not a lot of people yet. Came here at 12pm on a Saturday. Tried the Solo Adventure Platter and Banana Leaf Lunch Platter and both was priced good for the amount of food you get. We also ordered vegetable dishes too. Everything tasted good… just didn’t like the sauce of the spring roll.

Overall was excellent. But of course nothing is perfect… on the menu the Solo Adventure Platter says it includes “satay chicken skewers” which actually has an “S” which means it’s more than one. It only came with one. Sauce for the spring roll I didn’t like… but that’s from my personal taste. Oh and remember what’s included with your order as the Solo Adventure Platter comes with a dessert but the other server asked us if we wanted a dessert and we just showed her the menu and said it comes with a dessert though 😉

Cool spot & our server was nice. I thought the food was tasty but the portion sizes were pretty small.

I waited 45 minutes for a drink but had almost finished eating once it arrived & still paid full price for it. I’m in the industry so I was a little perplexed at what could’ve taken so long for a quiet restaurant on a weekday night…

For a larger group, I expected to be checked in on more regularly but we had to grab somebodies attention to both order and get bills.

Overall it wasn’t bad at all but it just needs a little fine-tuning to be smoother.

Food was nice but just wish they’d be a little more generous with portion sizes !

Very good restaurant! Staff are very friendly and attentive. Food was delicious! Most plates are available in small or large sizes, with the picture of beef rendang curry attached showing the small size. The roti pictured is 2 orders of roti on one plate, but it was still plenty for the three of us that were dining.
My wife is from Brunei, really loved all the options available here, and was even sending pictures to her parents because she liked it so much!
We definitely will go again next time we're in Vancouver 💛

Vegetarian options: Our vegetarian friend had the kung pao cauliflower dish, and it was very good!
There are also other vegetarian options:I counted 2 appetizers and 5 dishes that I would consider vegetarian (the salads have fish sauce, so I didn't include them)
